Minor Updates to Post Feeds ⬆️

Hello all,
[b]We have recently released minor updates to the Home & Custom Feeds, which should provide some improvement for those who are still having issues with the feed.[/b]

Updates were released 2 days ago, as well as another update in the past hour.

The recent changes should help to:

• Make the Feeds less Stagnant.

• Shuffle in more New Posts, when you've already seen posts that are considered Priority/Relevant to you.

[sep]

We are still working on "User Created Groups", and progressing well.
We're aiming to make this feature available soon.

Best wishes to you all, for the New Year 2023! 🎊 ✨

Maybe I'm the only one who hasn't figured this out, but when we go to customize our feed and we see the option to sort by relevance, how is relevance measured?

@DrWatson
Broadly, there is "Relevant" and "Non-Relevant" content.

Relevant Content also refers to content coming from sources you are Subscribed to (Users/Groups you Follow).

It extends as far as Users or Groups you interreact a lot with (assumed positive interactions).

So if someone isn't following a the topic "Politics",
yet, they regularly interact on posts from the Politics section, daily/weekly,
we may assume that user has interest in that topic, and we may occasionally show them content from that relevant source.

As for Feed Customization,

[i][u]Relevance / Following:[/u][/i]

More = Less "Random" (Non-Relevant) things appearing in your feed.
We will try to show you only content you have subscribed to, and may include also content from highly relevant sources you've interacted a lot with.

Less = More "Random", general posts may appear in your feed.
Posts from Users and Groups we aren't sure are of high interest/relevance to you.
This can cause the user to see a much more broad variety of topics, but also, potentially more posts overall (a faster flowing, but less relevant, feed).
